I absolutely love this necklace - it is well made and true to the picture/description. My experience with this shop was pretty horrible -actually the worst I've ever experienced on Etsy. I don't usually give poor reviews, but I would like other potential buyers to know my experience. Had the seller provided an explanation or some type of compensation I may have reviewed this product higher.
I ordered the product on February 3rd with a February 7th ship date. On Feb 10th I got no notice of shipment so I reached out - 3 times on 3 different days through Etsy, then sent a direct email to the seller - still nothing. So about a month later I opened a claim up through Etsy to try to get reimbursed and only then did the seller reach out and explain that she "was behind on things" - it was shipped a week later

About

My grandmother Lucia. She made this outfit out of leaves and sent the photo to the boys fighting in WWII.

I usually work with one-of-a-kind and very limited quantity stones. This necklace mixes chrysoprase and garnet.

I prefer stones that have been tumbled smooth, or hand carved with rough facets like these moonstone beads.

The stones always inspire the design. I've never been one to follow trends.

Natural Gorgeous: Beautiful Jewelry for Unique Women

Welcome to my shop, Natural Gorgeous. I like to say that I make beautiful jewelry for unique women. All of my jewelry is either one-of-a-kind or limited edition. I work with natural precious and semi-precious stones, pearls, shell, and vintage beads. I imagine my customers are people who want unique pieces that will carry some heart-felt meaning for themselves or the recipient of their gift.

I am pretty much a one-woman show: I buy the materials, I make the pieces, I take the photos, I do the packaging.

I am assisted by a well trained husband and a handsome bull terrier. The man makes the post office runs; the bull terrier adds the element of chaos that makes running your own business so exciting. She is particularly fond of destroying any packaging left within her reach (cardboard jewelry boxes are very delicious), and recently chewed her way through 20 feet of expensive gold-filled chain.

The inspiration for my shop is my grandmother Lucia, who passed away this August at the age of 93. She could design and make dresses, and in her twenties she opened and ran her own women's accessories store, "Miss & Mrs.," on Avenue U in Brooklyn. A pretty amazing feat for the 1930s!

I live in the heart of Washington, D.C. I have a "day job" - I am an international women's rights advocacy communications specialist... which means I help organizations that work on women's rights issues in developing countries explain the issues to lawmakers and the public within the United States.

The Power Behind the Throne

Payment

I accept payment by credit card processed through Etsy as well as Paypal. If you wish to pay by order or check, please contact me directly to make arrangements.

Shipping

GIFT WRAPPING:

Your item will be tucked inside a small gift box tied with ribbon. I am happy to gift wrap upon request for no extra charge.

SHIPPING PROCESS:

I generally ship within three business days of purchase. I bring my packages directly to my local post office in downtown Washington DC and wait as the clerks process them. Mail moves very quickly from my location (it is a busy post office and near a regional hub), so regular First Class delivery is just as fast Priority Mail.

FASTER SHIPPING:

Do you need faster shipping? Contact me to make arrangements. I live just a few blocks from a Fed-Ex store, so I can probably accommodate your request.

TRACK YOUR PACKAGE:

I ship all my packages with added "Delivery Confirmation." Delivery confirmation assigns your package a tracking number that allows us to monitor its progress as it moves through the postal system. I share this number with you when I send you your shipping confirmation message.

SHIPPING ADDRESS:

I will ship to the address you provide ETSY (not Paypal). Please communicate via Etsy's "message to seller" function (not Paypal's). If you would like to ship your package to someone else's address, let me know in the "notes to seller."

Refunds and Exchanges

I hope you are completely happy with your purchase. If not, please contact me. I will refund the purchase price of an item if it is returned to me within ten days. I do not refund the cost of shipping.

If you find you would like an alteration (such as lengthening or shortening a chain) after your receive your item, I am happy to do that free of charge (unless the change involves a significant materials cost). However I do not cover the cost of shipping back and forth.

Additional policies and FAQs

Please contact me if you are interested in a custom piece or variation on something I have listed, or for consignment or wholesale orders.
